Hip hop has branched out into various subgenres over the years, each with its unique sound, style, and cultural context. Here are some notable hip hop subgenres:

1. Gangsta Rap: Focuses on the harsh realities of urban life, crime, and violence. (e.g., N.W.A, Tupac Shakur)

2. Trap: Originated in the Southern United States, characterized by heavy, synthesized beats and often focuses on street life and hustling. (e.g., Lil U*i Vert, Gucci Mane)

3. Drill: Emerged in Chicago, marked by dark, gritty soundscapes and lyrics often depicting street violence. (e.g., Chief Keef, Lil Durk)

4. Conscious Rap: Emphasizes socially aware lyrics, addressing issues like racism, inequality, and social justice. (e.g., Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole)

5. Old-School Rap: Encompasses the early days of hip hop, characterized by simple beats, party lyrics, and DJing. (e.g., Run-DMC, Beastie Boys)

6. Underground Rap: Independent artists who reject mainstream hip hop's commercialism, often focusing on lyrical complexity and creativity. (e.g., MF DOOM, JID)

7. Alternative Rap: Experimental and eclectic, blending hip hop with other genres like rock, jazz, or electronic music. (e.g., OutKast, Kendrick Lamar)

8. Crunk: Originated in the Southern United States, characterized by heavy, energetic beats and often features call-and-response choruses. (e.g., Lil Jon, Petey Pablo)

9. Hyphy: Emerged in the San Francisco Bay Area, marked by upbeat, energetic sound and often features elements of funk and soul. (e.g., E-40, Mac Dre)

10. Traditional Hip Hop (as mentioned in the post): Refers to the classic sound of hip hop's golden era, emphasizing lyrical skill, DJing, and boom bap beats. (e.g., Nas, DJ Premier)

These subgenres aren't exhaustive, and hip hop's diversity has led to many more styles and fusions. Q-Tip's suggestion to use "Traditional Hip Hop" instead of "Adult Contemporary" highlights the importance of accurate labeling and representation within the genre. Opinions???

Adding "Adult Contemporary" category to hip hop programming is divisive. It would be nice to have everything in one pot BUT.. if there is a need to do so.. call it TRADITIONAL hip hop as “ADULT”will make AGEIST prejudge - Q-Tip
